the military sends henry, charles, and ellie along on a stealth mission — they’re going to be plus-ones for three of the government’s undercover toppat clan agents at the organization’s upcoming masquerade party.

henry almost returns to his kleptomaniacal ways when he spots reginald’s sparkly, jewel-encrusted necklace, but gets distracted from his attempted thievery when he ends up dancing with the leader instead.
